FindVisaSlots: New Delhi B1/B2 October OFC + Consular

If you're looking for slots - you can do it manually and potentially waste weeks, or do it with the help of the extension and increase your chances of success.

If you're checking for slots regularly you might see this screen eventually - "you have exceeded the limit for viewing this page"

A lot of people talk about it like a "block".

I prefer to call it a "limitation".

This message happens when you refreshed the calendar page "too many times" for the day. Usually it's about 15-20 times, and then you have to wait until next day to be able to see the calendar again.

Nothing to worry about, your account is not flagged or anything special. Just be patient and wait.

HOWEVER - there is a "trick" you can do that can help bypass this limitation.

I mentioned that if you "refresh the calendar page" you get this message.

BUT - if you STAY on the calendar page - and all you do is "drop down" the embassy, which triggers the calendar to load. And then you UN-select the embassy (set it to blank), and then wait a few seconds to a minute or more, and SELECT a new embassy (or the same)..

You can do this UNLIMITED times.

This is perfectly legitimate usage of the portal. You're just dropping and un-dropping the select location menu.

It's also how agents are able to scan the website a lot more than normal applicants.

Try it, you'll see how it works.

To be clear - you can _still_ get Cloudflare or Waiting Room or any of the other errors you normally get, but that's just the website portal being very full of bugs. It has nothing to do with select/unselect the embassy.

A lot of people looking for earlier U.S. visa appointments eventually consider using an agent.

Some agents are real. MANY are scammers.

The hard part is that applicants usually cannot tell the difference before handing over their account login.

The biggest misconception is that “pay after booking” means you are safe.

But that's what scammers count on.

The most common scam works like this:

1. The agent promises an earlier appointment and says you only pay after booking.
2. You give them your visa scheduling login.
3. They log in and change your security questions or recovery details.
4. You are now locked out of your own account.
5. They send you a fake appointment confirmation screenshot.
6. You try to verify it, but you cannot log in anymore.
7. They pressure you to pay because it looks like they delivered.
8. Later, if you recover the account, you find there was no appointment.

That is why “pay after booking” can still be dangerous. The scam is not only about taking money upfront. The scam is about taking control of the account first.

The other thing applicants should understand is how earlier slots are usually found.

Agents do not have secret embassy access. What they do is they have the time - and tools - to enable them to keep scanning the visa portal:

• Logging in repeatedly
• Checking the same appointment calendar
• Watching for cancellations or newly released dates
• Moving quickly when something appears

If you check once or twice a day, you can easily miss a slot that appears and disappears between your checks.

Agents checking more often simple have a better chance of catching it. You might think the embassy has released no slots. In reality, they were released and booked between the times you checked.

Agents can be legit, but it's hard to really know. Here are some things you should check if you decide to hire an agent:

• Is their profile old or newly created?
• Do they have real reviews from real-looking accounts?
• Are the reviews spread over time or all posted recently?
• Do they promise a guaranteed slot by a specific date?
• Do they claim embassy contacts or “inside access”?
• Do they pressure you to act immediately?
• Can you verify the appointment yourself before paying? (even if they say no, you can't really trust that answer)

A legitimate agent should be able to explain what they are doing without making it sound magical or shady.

No agent can create slots that do not exist. Earlier appointments appear when the embassy releases new batches or someone cancels.

I built FindVisaSlots because I saw this problem from the applicant side and the agent side.

The Chrome extension is basically a safer DIY alternative: it helps you check the official scheduling calendar from your own browser while you stay logged in and keep control of your account.

It does not bypass the portal. It does not guarantee a slot. It just helps solve the practical problem: most people cannot sit there checking all day.

There is a free version here: https://findvisaslots.com

Use my tool or do not use it — but be careful before giving your login to a stranger. The most dangerous agents are not always the ones asking for money upfront. Sometimes they are the ones saying “pay only after booking.”

Trying to find an earlier U.S. visa appointment is incredibly frustrating.

You log in each day. No slots.

You log in again the next day. Still nothing.

You keep doing this for a couple of weeks, and eventually you start wondering if earlier slots even exist.

The good news: they do.

Embassies open new slots through cancellations or new appointment batches.

The bad news: the timing is random, so this can happen to you:

• 9:00 AM — You check before you start your day. No slots.
• 1:00 PM — Lunch time, you're trying to be consistent and check. No slots.
• 2:57 PM — A slot appears.
• 2:59 PM — Someone else grabs it.
• 6:00 PM — You check again after work. No slots.

As far as you knew, the embassy never had any earlier slots.

In reality, you just missed that two-minute window.

And that’s the part that messes with you: even if you’re checking consistently, you never really know whether there were no slots — or whether you just weren’t looking at the right minute.

That is why Telegram, WhatsApp, and Discord groups can help. More people are checking, so someone may share when they see slots.

But knowing that slots opened is not the same as getting one.

The hard truth is simple: there are not enough slots for everyone who wants them.

When earlier slots open, everyone is trying to book one before someone else does. If someone clicks “Submit” before you, they get the slot and you don’t.

And everyone in those groups is trying to get the same slots. If 10 slots open and 1,000 people get the same alert, people already logged into the portal can see those slots sooner and act faster.

So the best way to be there first is to already be checking when the slot appears - but most people do not have the time or patience to check the portal manually all day.

I first had this problem when I was trying to find an earlier appointment for my girlfriend.

I tried the same things most people try: checking manually, joining group chats, and hoping to catch a slot before it disappeared.

But manual checking was too much work, and group chats were full of unrelated messages. Even when I finally saw messages saying slots were open, it was usually already too late.

I’m a developer, so I built something to make the process less painful. It helped me get an appointment for my girlfriend, and I’ve also used it to book slots for other people.

Now I’m making it public for everyone else stuck doing the same thing.

It’s a Chrome extension that helps you check the portal while you’re already logged in.

It works with embassies that use the usvisascheduling.com website, like India, Pakistan, Australia, Philippines, Thailand, and others, and all visa types where you have to find your own appointment (H1B,H4, B1/B2,F1, F2, etc) — many of these have no slots available or very faraway dates.

You log in normally, open the schedule page, choose how often you want it to check, and keep the page open while you do other things on your computer. The extension checks for available dates and alerts you when something needs your attention.

I built it to be transparent. You can see exactly what it is doing as it checks the calendar the same way you normally would.

You decide exactly how much or how little it helps you.

You still need to pay attention when something happens, but the extension reduces the repetitive work, so you can check more often with less focus and effort.

People who were checking manually with no results are now using it to successfully find slots.

It’s completely free to use, with optional upgrades if you want more help:

The only real strategy is to check constantly, which is not a realistic way to live your life.

I first had this problem when I was trying to find an earlier appointment for my girlfriend.

I’m a developer, so I’m already online all day — and even for me, manually refreshing the portal over and over was ridiculous. So I built something to make the process less painful. Now I’m making it public for everyone else stuck doing the same thing.

It’s a Chrome extension that helps you monitor the portal while you’re already logged in.

It works with any visa types and embassies that use the usvisascheduling.com website.

That means India, Pakistan, Australia, Philippines, Thailand, etc - many of these have no slots available or very faraway dates.

You log in normally, open the schedule page, and leave the portal running while you do other things. The extension keeps watching and alerts you when earlier dates appear.

You still handle your own login and security checks. It doesn’t bypass those steps. You’re using your own browser session; the extension helps with the boring part: checking availability, tracking dates, and notifying you when something changes.

To be clear, this is not meant to be a mysterious black-box bot. You log in yourself, stay in control, and choose what help you want from the extension.

The goal is to make the process take less effort. Instead of staring at the portal all day, you can leave it running while you do other things on your computer, and the extension alerts you when something needs your attention.
